Bright Okocha, the Nigerian comedian better known as Basketmouth, has apologised to AY Makun, over their 17-year feud.
The duo are among the most famous stand-up comedians in Nigeria.
Last year, the two heavyweight entertainers confirmed they were not on talking terms after they were spotted avoiding each other in public.
In March, AY said his misunderstanding with Basketmouth started in 2006 over money he is yet to receive for a show he anchored for him.
Reacting to AY’s comment, Basketmouth described his colleague’s account of the incident as “lies”.
But in an Instagram post on Monday, Basketmouth extended the olive branch to AY, who he referred to as “my guy”.
The ace stand-up comedian asked his colleague to forgive him, adding that “I just want us to live in peace and harmony”.
“Now for the people that are thinking or assuming that this apology is birthed because I have a show coming up on the 26th of November I would like to say this, you are absolutely correct. I am trying to sell tickets for my show. But I am also sorry for everything I have done.”
In July, AY said he would rather die than reconcile with Basketmouth
